If you loved our related article on winter window solutions, this post dives deeper into the season’s biggest style trends. Let’s unwrap the top seven window treatment trends making homes across Reno and Northern Nevada holiday-ready in 2025!

🎁 1. Warm, Textured Fabrics for a Cozy Feel

This year, rich textures and tactile fabrics are a top trend. Think nubby weaves, linen blends, and velvety finishes. These materials add a sense of warmth and comfort that pairs beautifully with your Christmas window décor ideas. Our soft treatments like custom draperies and top treatments can be layered with blinds or shades to create depth and elegance in living rooms or formal dining spaces.

Bonus: Layering soft drapery over your roller shades or cellular shades enhances energy efficiency while adding luxurious style.

🌟 2. Neutral and Earthy Tones with Holiday Accents

Neutral window treatments continue to dominate design in 2025—but with a holiday twist. Shades of ivory, taupe, and soft gray provide a clean backdrop for pops of red, green, or gold from seasonal decor. Natural woven shades are especially on-trend, offering beautiful texture and an organic aesthetic that complements both traditional and modern interiors.

These shades are also a perfect base for layering greenery, twinkle lights, or ribbon garlands for the holidays—no damage or commitment necessary!

🏠 3. Automated Window Treatments for Smart Holiday Living

With more Reno homeowners embracing smart home tech, motorized roller shades and sheer shades are more popular than ever. Imagine dimming the lights and closing your shades for a movie night with a single voice command. It’s stylish, practical, and a bit magical during the holidays.

Plus, automated winter window coverings can help regulate indoor temperatures by adjusting based on time of day or sunlight exposure—an efficient solution during chilly Northern Nevada winters.

🪟 4. Classic Shutters with Modern Details

Shutters remain a timeless window treatment option, especially for homeowners looking for lasting value and curb appeal. This year’s trend? Clean white wood and faux wood shutters with hidden tilt rods or split tilt functionality. These give you light control and privacy while preserving a sleek, streamlined look.

Shutters also make a stunning window frame for holiday decorations like mini wreaths, garland, or fairy lights—making them both stylish and seasonally appropriate.

💫 5. Zebra Shades: A Modern Must-Have

If you’re craving something fresh and functional, zebra shades are a top trend to watch. Also known as dual or layered shades, they feature alternating sheer and opaque bands that adjust with a simple pull or motorized lift. They offer the best of both worlds: soft natural light when open and complete privacy when closed.

Zebra shades are perfect for high-traffic spaces like kitchens and family rooms and pair beautifully with your holiday decor themes—from modern minimal to glam.

🏡 6. Outdoor Shades for Year-Round Entertaining

Don’t forget your patio or porch—especially if you’re entertaining during the holidays. Outdoor sun shades block glare and wind, creating a more comfortable and stylish outdoor space for winter parties, hot cocoa nights, or a holiday brunch on the deck.

They also help extend the life of your outdoor furniture and flooring, making them a smart investment that pays off beyond the holidays.

🧼 7. Cordless Everything: Sleek, Safe, and Easy

Safety meets simplicity with cordless lift systems, now standard on most of our blinds and shades. This modern upgrade eliminates unsightly cords, reduces clutter, and offers peace of mind for homes with kids or pets.

You can combine cordless operation with cellular shades, dual shades, and more—making it a versatile feature no matter your style preference.

🎉 Give Your Home the Gift of Style

Your windows are more than just a view to the outside—they’re a canvas for design, comfort, and technology. Whether you’re going all-out for the holidays or just want to cozy up your space, these 2025 window treatment trends are the perfect place to start.
